Well, its actually ok (although it is kind of cool) because I don't know how you would install a bike rack on the European model. Also, I want to get one of those little platforms to load junk on.

If that is the case make sure you get the OEM with the internal bracing. The bouncing load placed that far out from the hitch is what causes most of the horror stories you see all over the net. That is actually worse than a normal trailer which is what people don't know... and they get a false sense of security.

Thanks. Yep, I got the OEM from Bloomfield. (2 miles away from me and hoping they let me pick up!!!) Any need for a tranny cooler or anything?

Nope, the OEM cooler is plenty enough for the X.
